did you measure b4 and after? that dosent look like a 2.2" drop, maybe they need to settle more....

can you do a side shot from a few feet back to see the overall evenness...

Looks good!

its not going to be a 2" drop as listed on TEIN's website.. you'll be looking at 1.8" drop (similar to B&G) when its all settled.

what struts did you go with?

Maxima99SEbose can you do me a favor? Measure the distance between the top of the center cap to the edge of the fender, while staying parallel to the strut. I find that this is the best way to measure drops. Finger gaps are so .

Sprints are (from what i have heard) the lowest and probably the harshest ride you can go with...

I got GC and its rough, if i were to slam it a lil lower than 2 inches then i might be stiffer than the sprints but if you look at the spring rates the Sprints are REALLY stiff...

maxspeeds are not 2 inch drop they advertise they are 1.6 but in reality they are like about an inch. Im switching over to sprints soon becuz maxspeeds have such a little drop.

The S. techs are without doubt lower in the front than the Sprints. The rear will sit slightly lower with the Sprints, however.

I have Sprints...I can't imagine lowering a car and having a smoother ride. It's not harsh imo, just sporty..

Looks tight......except for the NON-HYPERWHITES.

My sprints are very smooth, just bouncy when I hit a bump.
